Chapter 35 Darkness Returns (IV)

At that moment, almost everyone instinctively raised their heads and looked at the three holy rays that had entered the sky. Even the undead stopped moving at this moment. The three light columns gradually disappeared deep into the clouds, and then they blew away the only dark clouds in the sky like a gust of wind, showing a clean night sky again in front of everyone. But unlike the past night sky, there were three abnormalities floating on the dark and deep curtain.

The large circular magic arrays cover almost all the sky in front of you. Looking around, you can only see endless golden lines from one end of the sky to the other end of the horizon, without any boundaries. Above this extremely gorgeous magic array, the glory of each sacred rune is as bright as a full moon. They come from every ancient and profound past and present and future laws, and condense their power together, forming the most brilliant poems and praises.

That comes from the origin of the Law of Light and the core part of the Holy Poetry. It has recorded and engraved in every corner of this continental law structure. Until now, it has been awakened again and re-expressed the power it possesses to all things in the world.

“That’s————!!”

Seeing this scene, the terrified expression appeared on the face of the lich who had been calm for the first time. It rushed out of the command post and looked in the direction of the fortress without any composure. The lich had the first smell of fear in his heart. Not only him, but also the other undead creatures around him were the same. They may have a high position, they may have a sinister and cunning position, but now, they are just standing there in a daze, looking at the night sky in the distance.

A silver-white line that was only the size of a little finger and was almost invisible was projected down from the air. It shone on one of the skeleton trolls, and it seemed to be unthreatening because the skeleton trolls did not even stop their steps, and the undead creatures on it seemed to turn a blind eye to it. But soon, they knew that they had made a wrong choice.

With the silver-white light, the runes covering the entire night sky light up one after another.

“rlor”

When the last character lights up, a dazzling and bright golden light flashes suddenly across the three magic circles, and then, the most sacred power in the world is condensed together and thunders down.

The brilliant light column with a radius of ten meters fell from the sky and blasted towards the ground along the thin and invisible guiding light. The silver-white flames rushed and spread in all directions like a rushing tide. The undead creatures within their range were unable to escape the devour of the flames, and they didn't even have time to shout. They didn't have time to leave a commemoration for their last moment of existence in this world, and disappeared silently under the invasion of the most sacred torrent of energy. The torrent of light poured down, and nothing could stop their eruption. The large number of undead creatures lost their traces, without any remaining.

"Bang."

Frederick was completely stunned at this moment. He stared at the scene in front of him, and even the sword in his hand fell to the ground. But Frederick had completely forgotten the oath of "the sword is the first life of the knight". He just stared at the scene in front of him, his mind was blank and he had completely lost his ability to think. The white light was not dazzling. Frederick could even see the scene before that huge, terrible bone frames cracked under the erosion of this torrent of white light, and then turned into dust and ash and disappeared in the air. On the ground, the scattered scattered scattered mercilessly swallowed every undead creature. They were like three huge erasers. They rubbed hard on the canvas that had been painted black, and soon the black disappeared, and the paper surface that was originally covered with it returned to its original color again.

First, there was one, and then the second, two extremely large beams of light fell from the sky, washing away the sin and death on the ground. But these lights seemed to be effective only for the undead creatures. The soldiers on the city wall could only feel a warm and powerful force passing by themselves, and then the pain they suffered immediately disappeared like the melting spring snow in the sun.

The white light column gradually dissipated, leaving only a few light dust to show their former presence. At this moment, under the walls of Rhodes' fortress, the undead legions that had already advanced to the moat had completely disappeared. With just one blow, thousands of undead creatures were completely wiped out and gone. They could not even leave corpses. The darkness that had just covered the sky and the sun had completely disappeared without a trace, as quiet as if they had never existed.

For the first time, the immortal army, who was tireless and unaware of fear, stopped, and even the powerful power of soul-stirring cannot be ignored by them. Curlund closed his eyes, turned his head, and could not even look directly at the dazzling light. Now Curlund finally understood why the young human lord was so fearless, why did he pay so much attention to his secrets and he was unwilling to let his scouts detect what was in his territory. The Dark Dragon is above him, and he actually owns the ancient heritage! How is this possible? After the Battle of the Saints 350 years ago, the shadow of the ancient heritage was almost no longer visible on this continent! Who was he? Where did he get these things!?

Curlund's shock even made him ignore the control of the undead creatures for a moment. At this moment, the Immortal Army, who had just been shocked, stepped forward again. After all, they were dead objects. Even no matter how shocking the power was, they could not bring any changes to their already dead souls. They resolutely continued to move forward. Soon, the Immortal Army once again filled the bleached part like ink. Seeing this scene, for some reason, Curlund suddenly jumped deep in his heart, but before he could catch the core, he could only see a white and dazzling column of light rising into the sky behind the fortress.

“Retreat, retreat immediately!!”

Seeing this scene in front of him, Curlund had no time to think about the blurry feeling that flashed through his heart just now, but gave an order in a frustration. However, at this time, even the people around him had no mood or time to appreciate the irritated movements of the lich. On the contrary, they also looked at the scene in front of him with a shocked expression. No one spoke. The entire command post was silent, and then, they saw the dazzling light falling from the sky again. Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that the black and immortal army was easily divided into two, and thousands of undead creatures disappeared in the dazzling light again.

The lich lowered his head, and the soul fire in its eyes seemed extremely dim at this time, but it soon burned again.

"Retreat, order everyone, retreat."

Its voice was hoarse and low, but it issued an unquestionable order.

The Immortal Legion retreated like a tide, and they retreated back to the protection of the Dark Dragon Soul. They were waiting for the next attack, and seeing the scene in front of them, the soldiers who were holding onto the city wall couldn't help but cheer. Of course, they knew that the Immortal creatures could not retreat, but even if they only gained the advantage temporarily, it was a precious victory for them.

"Lord, they retreat."

"I know."

Listening to Benny's report, Rhode narrowed his eyes and frowned and replied. Although everyone else was excited to repel the Immortal Legion, Rhode was not excited at all. Because he knew very well that this was just a half-time break. The Immortal Legion would not leave here, even if there was a Holy Girl like it. Although the Holy Gun is the peak sacred spell of the middle level of the inner ring, this does not mean that the Immortal Legion has no choice but to do anything about it. Otherwise, during the war of creation, the Dragon of Light and the Dragon of Darkness would not have evenly matched and killed you to the death. Of course, the original Dragon of Light did not have a cheating construction system like Rhode. Otherwise, with the financial resources of the Dragon of Light at that time, it could directly build a circle of the statues of the Girls around the border. At that time, who is afraid of whom?

Thinking of this, Rhodes turned around.

"I have something to do next, so I'll leave it to you here. Commander Benny, once you find out the enemy situation, please report it to me immediately."

Unlike the previous gloomy and somewhat desperate combat meeting, almost everyone present showed an excited expression this time. Most of them, like Frederick, had a feeling of being unable to do anything when they first fought with the Immortal Legion, but as Rhode activated the Saint Girl statue, the balance of victory and defeat was reversed in an instant. This immediately made everyone feel the hope of defending the fortress. Because of this, when Rhode walked into the conference hall again, what he felt was the fiery eyes and trustworthy eyes of everyone. If before this, many of them had questions about whether Rhode had the ability to resist the attack of the Immortal Legion, then now they were full of confidence.

Unfortunately, Rhodes came here not to consolidate their confidence, but to pour cold water on them.

"I know what you want to say, everyone."

Rhodes walked to his seat and sat down. His first words made the originally noisy conference room silent. Almost everyone looked at him, waiting for his next words.

"You may think we have won this war, but I must tell you here that it is too early to be happy. Do you still remember the feeling you had when you fought against the Immortal Army before? I can say with certainty that it will be a feeling that you will be very familiar with in the future, and that is the situation we will face often."

"But Lord Lord."

Hearing this, Frederick immediately stood up and spoke.

"Although we did lack the methods of undead creatures before, didn't you activate that statue? It has such great power, and can even destroy thousands of undead creatures in one blow, forcing them to withdraw temporarily. If we continue like this, how could they have hope of victory?"

"Their withdrawal is only temporary, but only because they have encountered a situation that has not yet been expected, Mr. Ferrik."

"But, Lord Lord, the hasty withdrawal of troops has a great impact on the army, and, in this way, they are inside..."

"Mr. Frederick."

Rhode waved his hand and interrupted Frederick's speech.

"We are talking about undead creatures. They will not be strong in morale because of encouragement, nor will they be depressed by failure. They only have one belief, that is, advance, fight and harvest death. So I can tell you with certainty. When the next time those undead armies attack the fortress again, they will not hesitate or shake because of the power of the Holy Spel. The military flag is where they kill. Moreover, the Holy Girl is not invincible, it also has many weaknesses."

"weakness?"

"Yes."

Speaking of this, Rhode spread his hands.

"It takes time for them to accumulate strength, and the coverage area of ​​the Holy Gun is limited. It takes dozens of minutes to charge each strike. If the undead creatures use this to fight the time difference, we can't imagine it at all. These weaknesses exist objectively, and I believe that the opponent's commander obviously saw this in the end, which is the main reason why it chose to withdraw its troops instead of continuing to attack."

"Does that mean that if Lord Lord, you have enough ancient heritage, we will have a way to completely turn the Immortal Army out with these statues?"

Hearing Frederick's inquiry, Rhode couldn't help but look at the young live treasure knight in front of him in curiosity. He really didn't realize that he was young and had player-mindedness. After all, no one had ever considered such a shameless way around him. However, Rhode quickly turned his eyes and nodded.

"Yes, it's the case in theory. As an ancient heritage, the statue of the Holy Girl uses the power of the sacred law protected by the Dragon Soul of Light. If I have enough statues of the Holy Girl, I can indeed keep them out. But unfortunately, I can't create so many statues of the Holy Girl in reality."

"Why is this? Lord Lord?"

This time, the person who asked about Frederick was not Frederick, but an officer from the Guangming Battle Banner. Rhode looked at him meaningfully, then shrugged his shoulders and spoke.

"It's very simple, no money."

“………………………Ha?”

Perhaps Rhodes' reason was too "simple and direct", so that almost everyone present was stunned for a moment before they realized that they stared at each other. They couldn't figure out how Rhodes had such a reason. But soon, Rhodes gave the answer.

"It takes at least five or six million gold coins to create a statue of a Saint Girl. It also requires a large number of magic crystals and various expensive gems. Making the existing three Saint Girl statues has almost emptied my territory, and I really can't afford to make the Saint Girl statue."

Hearing Rhode's answer, the officer nodded, but soon he asked again.

"So, can you ask, how long does it take to be made for a statue of a holy girl?"

"If you are quick, you can complete one in half a month."

Rhode sincerely confirmed that his skill mastery level of "talking with his eyes open" is definitely at the legendary level.

Hearing Rhode's answer, the officer nodded and then sat back on the chair. At this time, Rhode noticed that the others were also flickering, obviously having some special thoughts, but Rhode did not say it out loud. He quickly missed the topic and then began to warn everyone not to relax their vigilance. At the same time, he also asked that from now on they must learn to act like vampires, that is, to rest during the day and on duty at night. Because the undead creatures captured the power of the Dragon Soul of Light, it is impossible to choose to be in the Great

Attack during the day. Especially when the strengths of the two sides are almost the same, weakening their own strength is simply a rhythm of voluntarily coming to the door to die. The Immortal Legion cannot be so stupid that it doesn't even know this. After giving all this, Rhode announced the meeting to end. Everyone who had been tired for half a night also said goodbye to leave. However, Rhode knew very well that they must have other things to discuss in private, but that's fine - this was originally a part of the "998" promotion plan he and Qi Lian discussed.

It seems to be quite smooth at the moment.

Just after everyone left, Rhode saw the little bubble gum and Canary walking towards him with a smile. They did not take action to participate in the battle today, which was one of the reasons why the battle was more difficult in the city defense battle. To be on the safe side, Rhode had already stipulated that Canary could use the power of the Mage Tower to provide assistance to a certain extent, but they must preserve their strength and wait for the attack of the Dark Night Along at any time. It is precisely because of this that Rhodes exposed one of his aces so early. If the cunning and cautious lich thought it would force him into a dead end, Rhodes would not mind letting him see which good decks in his hand were not opened.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

"Do you still remember the group of dark elves you encountered before? Rhodes?"

"how?"

When Rhodes heard Canary's inquiry, he was stunned. He vaguely remembered this, but after returning to the fortress, Rhodes threw this matter behind his head because he wanted to prepare for a battle with the Undead Legion. Now it seems that there is something wrong?

"You won't kill me, right?"

"No, the leader."

Hearing Rhode's inquiry, Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum shook her head quickly. But soon, a happier smile appeared on the little girl's face.

"But, we caught one? Do you want to go and have a look?"

"oh?"
